It was DOWN AND UNDER in Bryan, Ohio. Today was authentic Australian Food. I was in Australia once and will always remember my experience with friendly people and my first Meat Pie. This was happening at Kora's today, and, by the way, a great lunch. I wanted to do a self-project. The project was to tell a story. Just like a book. It would be best to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Now off the next city.

New Me
Well, we are in the new year, and I said earlier that I would be changing my business. Well, sort of. In 2024, I am looking at doing more freelance photography, focusing on travel, commercial, senior, aviation, and macro photography. I am also using my iPhone more. This is a great camera. I always have it with me and don’t need to carry a 40lb bag with me all the time. Take the picture below.
Lisa and I went to a winery in Indiana. As I was walking, I saw these glasses and wondered how this would do in a picture. The iThe phone came out, and I set it up to make the picture I thought it would. I did do a little in Photoshop. Mostly cleaning food that was on the table, and that was it. The lighting was very low, and I used the table to rest the phone on to get the best still picture possible. So far this year, the only camera I have been using has been my iPhone for images and video. Video? yep that will be another post.
So long, Indiana, and onto the next city. They say the best camera is the one you have. So true.
2024 a New Year
Well, it is time for another year and time for changes. Some want weight loss, and some want a better life. For me, it’s a different business model. One of the changes you will see with me in 2024 is more travel photos. The below picture is th Brooklyn Bridge in New York. My wife Lisa and I took a cruise to the Bermuda. As we started heading out, I wanted a different picture of the bridge and took several pictures to come up with the one below.
Brooklyn Bridge, New York, New York
The Bridge started building 1883 and was offically open May 24, 1883. I wonder how long that would take today?
It was the first suspension bridge to use steel for its cable wire. It was the first bridge to use explosives in a dangerous underwater device called a caisson. At the time it was built, the 3,460-foot Brooklyn Bridge has also crowned the longest suspension bridge in the world. “PBS. organzation”
Looking forward to our next journey and share with you. Whatever your wishes or dream is for 2024. I wish you luck and enjoy your journey.
Cruising Norwegian Prima
Cruise time again. I was so excited when we booked one of the newest ship Prima that I could not wait to see what new cruising would look like. First, the boat was beautiful and had some great ideas. The pool hanging out in the water was cool. The restaurant with IPAD ordering was interesting and different; it made it fun. The back boat bar was relaxing when nobody was around. And the top-level front was great. The staff was A-1.

That was all of the pluses. The negative was that this ship was not made for the number of people on our cruise. The pool was so packed you could only stand. The entertainment, unless you found a seat about 1 hour or more from an event, you would not see it. This includes music in a few places they had. Food was average; if you liked one menu for the whole week, this was your boat. (For me, I don't like) Thanks to the Vibe Club, it made this vacation a vacation. Without it, I would not have been thrilled. If this is the future of Cruising, it maybe time to look at something else. Like the airlines cutting back, sadly, it's looking like Cruising may be doing the same thing. Possibly it is just Norwegian, just like my old saying. Just because you have one lousy steak does not mean all steak is terrible.
Erie,PA
I travel a lot, both personally and for business. I had a chance to stay overnight in Erie, PA. I stayed at the Marriott Courtyard, and what a view. I went to the pool area to relax, and relax I did with the view of Lake Erie.

They say one of the best sunsets is from this location. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to see it because I had a dinner meeting I needed to attend—hopefully, next time. I look forward to seeing more of Erie on my next visit. Which will be soon.
